The 1? block with 5 squares was a bit of a sneaker.

I didn't have help, just clumsily touched check by mistake. I often do this when using my tablet. Is there any way to spread the numbers etc out a bit please, Gareth?

I don't think I had to use the 1? MathTeacherGuy, I didn't like the look of it so did everything else and the puzzle came out without having to tangle with it:)

I think you needed to work out the 1 otherwise there were 2 answers - the 8 could have been two things. Nice challenge!

You are right, pevrill, I forgot I had done that, but only at the last moment when, as you say, you are left with 2 possibilities for 8, so you do need the 1 after all, but it was very obvious at this last stage:)

Key
A yellow/light blue highlight in the time distribution charts highlights your time, where relevant.
Rating scores out of 10.0 show the average difficulty rating chosen by users, where 1.0 is "Easy" and 10.0 is "Hard".
If a puzzle is opened more than once, including by loading from a saved position, then this is potentially a significant aid so it is listed as being completed with 'multiple sessions' for the purpose of the best time/average rating displays above.
Minor aid is defined as no more than one use of 'Check solution' when incomplete and/or no more than one use of 'Check solution' when wrong; and/or using highlighting aids (show repeated digits, show broken inequalities and show valid/invalid placements [slitherlink] only). Major aid is any and all other use of the solving aids except for 'show wrong'.
